Their commission was suspicious.

"When can treatment begin?" Bozokastie asked.

“With proper preparation, the problem can be solved in a minute, and we can start anytime,” Chen Luo said.

"I will have Frostnova prepare it."

"But if Frostnova becomes a normal person, can she still lead the Yeti squad?" Chen Luo began to wonder.

"Perhaps you'd rather keep your children safe, but Frostnova might not think that way. Besides, while the Infected are extremely easy to kill, they don't need staffs to cast spells because they have Originium inside them, and Originium Arts are much more powerful."

"...Do you have any suggestions?" Bozokastie asked after a moment of silence.

Since Chen Luo has raised this question, perhaps he also has an answer.

"That's simple. At worst, we can cure Frostnova's Oripathy, fatten her up, and then let her get Oripathy back, right?"

"..."

What kind of lousy method is this?

“I know you don’t seem to agree with this idea, but I can treat Froststar’s Oripathy regularly, so it’s not a big problem,” Chen Luo said.

"..."

"Great, it's settled then."

Phew, another order completed.

Once I get another job from Frostnova to treat Oripathy for Borocaste, this Iceborne expedition will be a complete success!

As for Talulah and Alina... their Oripathy is quite serious and not suitable for treatment right now.

The Reunion Movement is an organization of infected people, so it's strange that the leader isn't an infected person.

"Grandpa, do you have any other wishes?"

"Yes." Perhaps because Chen Luo had resolved a knot in his heart, Bozhuokastie was completely relieved and became sentimental.

"What is your wish?"

"I hope that within Ursus, the infected and ordinary people can coexist on an equal footing," Bozokastie said after a long pause.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Equality]: Achieve equality between infected individuals and ordinary people within the borders of Ursus.

Rewards: 1200 Primogems + Random Rewards + 50+ Bozocasti Affinity + [Proof of Peace (Try it if you disagree)]

Difficulty: Four stars

Holy crap, no wonder he's the boss. Letting him rest for a bit allows him to issue another four-star commission!

so amazing!

Humans have limits, but patriots are not human.

"Your wish is a bit difficult..." Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

This commission... how should I put it?

1200 Primogems is the limit for the Patriot, not the limit for this quest.

Bocho Casti is called the Patriot because he truly loves his country, not the Sarkaz, but the nation of Ursus.

However, Ursus's frequent external expansion led to widespread resentment among its people, prompting previous emperors to shift the blame for domestic conflicts onto ordinary citizens and the infected.

Therefore, infected individuals in Ursus are ostracized, discriminated against, and even considered deserving of death. This is also why the Reunion Movement arose in Ursus.

In such a social environment, even if a nobleman were to contract Oripathy and become infected, he would still be relegated to the bottom of society.

Patriot's son died precisely because of this Ursus policy.

The current emperor is willing to reverse this situation, but because this idea has been deeply rooted in Ursus for a long time, he is now facing great resistance.

“I know it’s difficult. But I’m prepared,” Bozokastie said.

“But I can help you,” Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Hmm? How can I help?"

“I can help you modify the consciousness of the upper-class nobles of Ursus, making them less hostile towards the Infected. The current emperor of Ursus does indeed have reform ideas, so this might reduce the resistance to his implementation of new policies. In addition, I can influence the consciousness of everyone on this land to lessen their hostility towards the Infected. But…”

"But what?"

"But that's all there is to it. The upper-class nobles are a limited number, and modifying their consciousness won't take me long. But the lower-class commoners are limitless; I can only influence them slightly, making it easier for you to realize your ideals," Chen Luo said.

Although Chen Luo's power as the Herrscher of Consciousness is powerful enough to modify the consciousness of everyone on the entire Terra continent, the prerequisite is that Chen Luo must stay in this world for a considerable period of time so that his mental control can become deeply ingrained.

Otherwise, if the consciousness is modified one moment and the person leaves the next, the consciousness control of certain special beings will be released.

Because there are still some things in this world, such as newborns, behemoths, beast lords, gods, and so on.

Changing the mindset of Ursus civilians could reduce the disturbance and the time required, but discrimination against infected people is common knowledge in Terra. If they suddenly stop discriminating, it would definitely be a big problem in the eyes of outsiders.

However, Chen Luo can now reduce the difficulty for patriots to promote their ideals from 100% to 30%.

According to Chen Luo's analysis using the human-centric plugin, the discrimination against the Infected by ordinary people in Ursus is so deeply ingrained (refer to the discrimination against the Cursed in the Dark World), completely eradicating this discrimination through consciousness modification would require a tremendous amount of Chen Luo's time.

However, if it's just about modifying the subconscious and reducing discrimination, then simply placing a Feather Crossing here for half a month will complete the modification, and it will be done subtly and quietly.

If the Reunion Movement were to put up a proper fight now and inflict some damage on Ursus, coupled with the emergence of a cure for Oripathy, this change would seem justified.

Since Chen Luo contributed 70% of the effort, it doesn't count that Chen Luo did nothing.

"It's decided then, old man. Your guerrilla team will continue its grassroots activities, while I'll handle the issues at the top," Chen Luo declared.

“…Thank you.” Chen Luo’s solution was too comprehensive, which made Bo Zhuokast, who was more used to making efforts on his own, feel a little uncomfortable, but he couldn’t refuse Chen Luo.

"If there's anything you need my help with, just say so. As long as it doesn't go against the greater good, I'll be there whenever you call," Bozhuokastti said.

"It's a deal. Let's go, it's time to go back. So Froststar won't worry about you."

"Hmm." Patriot was quite satisfied with Frostnova, his adopted daughter.

Aside from their slightly different philosophies,

But that's normal.

"Oh, right, old man, remember to have your daughter come to my temporary tent later. Also, make sure she's dressed loosely so it's easier for her to take off her clothes." Chen Luo turned and said this before floating forward.

"..."

They've hardened their stance; Patriot's fist has hardened.

Old Deng, your daughter is great... I'll have her come to my room in a bit.

What father could tolerate his son saying such things to him?

Especially since this guy is called a succubus, which suggests he has a long history of misdeeds? My blood pressure is going up!

Patriot stood there for a while, watching the silent figure disappear into the distance, before taking another step.

As soon as Chen Luo arrived at the camp, he looked to his left.

There, the spirit-like assassin reported the situation to Chen Luo.

"Master, target Mephisto has been secured."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Chen Luo nodded gently.

Don't get me wrong, Mephisto wasn't killed, he was just turned into a puppet.

Chen Luo wanted to kill Mephisto outright, since the guy was hopeless to the core.

However, Mephisto was rescued by Talulah, and they had a relatively good relationship, so they could only secretly carry out harmless disposal.

Team fights can be lost, but Mephisto must die.

Not everyone deserves to be saved...

Chapter 1551 Oh my god! The son-in-law beat up his father-in-law (Patriot)!

"The surgery was a success. You... ah, sorry, I almost forgot you watched me perform the surgery with your eyes open." Chen Luo's gaze met Shuangxing's, and then he smiled sheepishly.

When Chen Luo performs surgery, he always adds a sentence like this at the end, because it makes the originally serious atmosphere more relaxed and helps to ease the patient's heavy mind.

"That's... all done? It only took less than a minute, right?"

"Otherwise, do I have to make you lie in bed all day, go through all sorts of emergency treatments, and only after I'm exhausted do I take off my mask and say to you: I'm sorry, I did my best?"

"But... is this really surgery?"

"You don't understand, do you? This is the magical and ancient Origin Stone Technique of the Yan Kingdom."

"So why did you tell me to wear loose clothes?"

"Of course, it's so it'll be easier to tear it apart... Stop messing around." Chen Luo reached out and slapped away the ice spell that Froststar was planning to use to scare people, then plunged the scalpel directly into Froststar's ear.

It's quite strange, but whether it's a white rabbit, a black rabbit, or any other kind of creature, they all have four ear canals and two pairs of ears.

Chen Luo had heard Pado complain about this, because having two pairs of ears meant that listening to Aponia's advice would be a double enjoyment for ordinary people, which was too painful.

As for the clothes, Chen Luo couldn't do anything about it. His scalpel couldn't possibly heal itself automatically when it cut through the clothes, could it?

Actually, it's not entirely impossible to achieve this function. As long as Chen Luo is willing to spend 20 Primal Stones, he can make the scalpel ignore the clothes and perform surgery directly without regard to the defenses.

But taking Chen Luo's raw stone would be worse than taking Chen Luo's life.

Anyway, it's already good enough if the scalpel doesn't cause harm when it cuts through a person's body; clothes and such can be considered normal wear and tear.

On the other hand, the scalpel that could slice through Patriot's equipment and remove Oripathy from near his neck is actually quite sharp.

So, should we install a special ability module so that we can perform surgery on people through their clothes?

This no-fault scalpel doesn't seem to specify a maximum drilling limit.

Chen Luo performed surgery on Shuangxing, making only seven incisions, and the scalpel would not cause any harm to Shuangxing's body even if it entered her body.

He made a cut on each hand and foot, drew a cross on his torso, and finally plunged the scalpel directly into Frostnova's forehead.

It sounds a bit bizarre, but Frostnova didn't feel touched at all from beginning to end, except for the sound of her clothes being torn.

In reality, Chen Luo didn't see anything at all, since Mebius was watching coldly from the side, staring at Chen Luo as if he were a dead man.

The Black Serpent? The Black Serpent is currently in Talulah's hands.

"The surgery was successful, but while the Oripathy has been removed, your body is still very weak. So take these and eat something good these next few days." Chen Luo handed two Healing Cocoons to Froststar.

"If you feel that the Infected are still stronger, you can poke yourself with Originium to become an Infected. If you really can't hold on any longer, come find me, and I'll perform another operation on you."

"Then why didn't you leave me with any trace of being infected from the beginning?"

"Because I promised your uncle I'd help you cure your Oripathy," Chen Luo said.

In truth, with Frostnova's magical talent, she would be quite powerful even without becoming an infected. However, to fully unleash her abilities when casting spells, she needs the assistance of a staff.

"I understand. I'll take care of myself." Frostnova began to think about when it would be appropriate for her to become an infected again.

Or should I recover my health first before becoming infected?

Frostnova doesn't necessarily have to become an infected, but becoming an infected does make her stronger, and Frostnova and the Yeti squad need that power right now.

Furthermore, the identity of an infected person is also required.

"Then I'll keep these two Originium stones that I took from you as a souvenir. You don't mind, do you?" Chen Luo's fingers brushed against the silver-white scalpel, and two Originium stones appeared in Chen Luo's hand.

Using these two Originium Shards extracted from Frostnova, you might be able to get her in one go by spending real money on gacha pulls.

“I can give you one, but I want to use the other as a deposit to ask you to treat the old man as well. His Oripathy is quite severe. I know this price might not be enough, but you can tell me what you want, and I will try my best to satisfy you,” Froststar said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Froststar's Expectation]: To cure Patriot's Oripathy

Rewards: 800 Primogems + 40 Frostnova Affinity + "Little Rabbit, Be Good"

"Although I really want to do something, I'm afraid I'll burn myself out..." Chen Luo glanced at Mebius cautiously.

"So I'll grant your wish. These two Originium will be enough as payment. No more."

“How can that be? You’ve helped me so much. I might not be able to sleep at night if I don’t get some kind of reward. Even if it’s an impossible goal, at least let me know what you want.” Froststar shook her head.

There are three types of people in the world. One type is those who respond to force but not to gentleness; these people are usually opportunists and can be ignored.

One type is those who respond better to gentle persuasion than force; these people are mostly very principled.
